@ByERussell American revenue chief Raja is touting the international growth “opportunities” of its partnership with Qatar Airways. What a difference several years and a pandemic make. Enemies no more. $AAL
@ByERussell American “should be back to 2019 levels from a growth perspective. CASM should be lower where we are from a 2019 perspective. And revenue is going to be dependent on the recovery — it depends on the corporate recovery and international coming back,” says CFO Kerr. $AAL
@ByERussell American will be adding back more multi-frequency business markets, from places like New York and Washington, this fall, says Raja. This comes with a return to more normal travel patterns, eg 3-day weekends, domestic business travel, etc. $AAL
@CNBCTV18News Under the UDAN-Regional Connectivity Scheme, 359 routes have commenced operations since 2017 with passenger traffic of over 69 Lk so far. Hindon-Hubli is one such route which has gained momentum.
@ZagrebAirport Great news! @Ryanair has opened its #Zagreb base and announced to deliver over 60 departing flights per week this winter across 24 routes, including 9 new routes to European destinations (Basel, Eindhoven, Malaga, Malta, Manchester, Naples, Paphos, Thessaloniki and Dublin).
